The Diet Blog

Summers not only motivate to get in shape for the beach, it brings some valuable gifts which can be easily used to shed a few pounds. There are a number of summer fruits which can help reduce weight.

I have known a number of people who try to make their weight loss goals in summers because of the fruits they rely on.

Fruits like Watermelon, Melon, Grape fruit have relatively low calories. They are source of rich nutrients, high in fiber. Widely available and great taste and flavor. Substituting one meal for a combination of these fruits over the weekend can help reduce the calorie intake, substantially. Watermelon seeds are helpful in kidney and bladder problems. Watermelon is rich in lycopene and potassium. Melons are rich in potassium, vitamin A and folate.

We have started the DIET blog to cover aspects of DIET which can be implemeted by the self motivated. We plan to cover recipies which would include popular food with slight modification to save meaningful calories.

We would invite recipies from other parts of the world to add variety. We would like to encourage the users to share their recipies for the common good.
